Athletic Bilbao will be aiming to bounce back from successive defeats when they resume their La Liga campaign with a clash against Celta Vigo on Sunday afternoon.
Athletic Bilbao:
Despite recent setbacks in cup competitions, Athletic Bilbao remain one of La Liga's standout teams this season. Sitting fourth in the table, Ernesto Valverde's side boasts a 10-match unbeaten run in the league, highlighting their consistency. With six points separating them from Villarreal in fifth, the Basque outfit is well-positioned in their bid for a first top-four finish since 2014. Having already beaten Celta Vigo 3-1 earlier this season, the Lions will aim to capitalize on their strong away form to secure another crucial three points.
Celta Vigo:
Celta Vigo enter this clash eager to rebound from a 2-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano, as they continue their mid-table battle. Claudio Giraldez's team has been a mixed bag, combining an impressive attack with defensive vulnerabilities. While their home form has been stellar, the Sky Blues will need to improve on the road to trouble an in-form Athletic side. With a 2-1 victory over the Basques in this fixture last season, Celta will hope to draw on that success for inspiration, aiming to close the gap on the European spots.
